Doug Liman goes searching for the truth in this real-world spy game

After blowing the relationship film 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith,' director Doug Liman gets a second chance with 'Fair Game,' and the stakes are actually higher because this one is based on the true story of Valerie Plame (Naomi Watt), a CIA operative outed by the Bush administration after her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), dared to call the Bush administration out for misquoting facts to "prove" Iraq was building weapons of mass destruction. Liman, Watt and Penn come through. Grade: A-.
